day is Mrs. f. b. Thurber. But that is
not all; she is the most executive, and
an out and out Napoleon in petticoats.
The only objection to this comparison
is, the Emperor didn't care sou for
music, while Mrs. Thurber is the enl-
bodiment of the art and loves it with
her head as we'll as her heart.-BoSt0n
Herald.
English people are aghast at a sem
tence recently pronounced by an En-
glish Clergyman who WAS sitting as a
magistrate. An old man SO years of
age WAS brought before him accused of
stealing shirt He was at once SEN
fenced by the reverend judge to five
years penal servitude. 1t was u fortu-
nate thing for tho old man that theft IS
no longer punishable by death.
A Schuyler, Neb., man was summon
ed on jury. He walked into the court
room, drew off his coat and threw it
over the balusters. A large, empty flask
dropped out of the inside pocket onto
tho floor The juror gathered it up and
meekly inquired if he was competent to
sit He was informed that if he would
get the bottle filed and pass it to the
court he could remain in the box.

Storms In Baltimore,

BALTIMORE, July l0.-Thc storm Of yes
tcrday afternoon was followed by another
OF almost equal force about 3 o'clock this
morning. Several houses on Cumberland
street near Gilmcr were struck by light
nlng and unrOOfcd, and their contents
almost entirely destroyed by rain. Harlem
Park, the most beautiful resort within the
city, this morning presents an appearance
of dissolution. Nearly all the trees arc
damaged and many entirely destroyed
UnroOtcd houses are seen all over this sec.
lion Of the city, and the aggregate damage
is heavy, though individual losses are com
paratiVcly light. At the City Marine Hos
pital, down Patapsco River, the hail of
yesterday afternoon broke all the windows
on the south side, and the entire building
was flooded. The rainfall for - hours
was Z inches.

At Her Own Expense.

The other day New York maiden went
TO Philadelphia, and was taken by young
man to the opera, after which they went
to take some slight rcfreshment. The
young lady had seen considerable Of this
world, and had a pretty fair knowledge of
the customs Of most people; but she was
considerably surprised to see her escort at
the conclusion of the repast, coolly reach
for her pocket book, which lay on the
table at her side, and pay the bill with her
money. This, it seems says the IndepcRd-
ent, is customary in Philadelphia when a
young gentemans means arc somewhat
limited 1t relieves his lady friends Of the
embarrassment they might otherwise feel
on partaking of any entertainment at his
cost. 1t struck the New York girl, how
ever, as being ridiculous, and she began to
laugh.
81 fear you are laughing at my expense"
said the young man. LET me explain"
80 no." she replied; Il was laughing at
my expense"

The Fuel OF the Future.

1t 10 q fact well known in mauufac-
turing circles that tho vast bulk of the
heat contained in coal is wasted. Only
fourteen out of the hundred parts Of
carbon is actually utilized. Hence, one
of the problems of chemistry has been
to get moro power, in the way Of heat
and light, out of n gwen quantity OF
coal. Prof. T. S. @. Lowe claims to have
solved this problem. a matter which is
of vast Importance, if it is a fact. The
process is to pulverize fo coal, and, in
converting it into gas, the coal is re-
duced to powdered form SO fine that
it will float in the atmosphere, and it IS
carried into the burning furnace by a
current OF air artiticially produced. In
the powdered form everything is con-
sumed, as it makes no smoke and leaves
no ashes. This would utilize the noun
tains of so-called waste, now piled up
near coal mines and manufactures. But
Prof. loves invention goes further
The coal is converted into Il water gas.
A ton of anthracite coal will generate
from eighty to n hundred cubic feet of
gas. The cost will be about nine cents
q cubic foot. This invention is already
in use in the city Of Troy, in the laun-
dries Of that place, and is also used for
power and for heating and cooking in
hotels and restaurants. The gas fur
nishcd is non-luminous and resembles
that from alcohol These facts have
come out of n report to the Scranton
board of trade which calls tho new in
vention anthracite gas. The result will
be q marvellous economy in the heating
Of houses and the cooking Of food, while
ono ton of coal will go rs far as 4 hun
drcd of tons nowadays. - Demorcsc $

a Hint for Hot Nights.

If you are troubled with insomnia these
Sultry nights, just turn the faucet of cold
water in your bathroom for minute or
two upon your feet and then thoroughly
dry them. Haul taut your mosquito
bar, let you head lie low, and, like the
pilous county blacksmith in his pew at
church, close your eyes and think of no
thing. The cold water drives the blood to
The head and produces a sOpOdfc effect.

seasoned and eaten with thin bread, in the
form OF sandwiches. would be good. An
ordinary United States onion will do if the
great big fellows are out of the market.
Onions are full Of opium. Let business
and all mental labor go out of your head.
Keep the thoughts of maturing notes, in.
